Re: kodak bankrupt

Evil manifests itself in many ways and largely through deception. These "debates and arguments" create an "air" of legitimacy. Sure, there are countries that resist UN resolutions. This only slows down the agenda and makes them resort to other forms of deception and only allows ...

Re: kodak bankrupt

* one answer (out of many) for why the universe exists is because the alternative: non-existence, already presupposes existence, to which the prefix "non" is applied. Hmmm.... I wish you did not include this footnote - How can such an argument establish the why of anything? First, I'll gi...

Re: The strength of film

This is indeed the case. To preserve information it is as though one has to always apply energy. Otherwise information is dissipated, forgotten, thrown away with a dead hard drive. It is amazing. I have a photo album from long ago that I can open and browse the pages. I have NOTHING from recent time...

Re: Why AviSynth?

Excellent point! I use POVRay tracer, for example, to create height fields from video files or overlay video frames on any geometric structure i can come up with. All in text! I even wrote a GUI in Delphi that interfaces with AVISynth, that acts as a frame server by the way. How about writing a C++ ...

Re: film transfer with step motor projector.

For frame by frame capturing, search for posts by VideoFred from Belgium. You need a video camera that can capture off emulsion (or any way the frame is being displayed via projector lens for example) and capture is triggered by a signal when frame is not coverd by projector shutter blade. For captu...

Re: kodak bankrupt

I mentioned stocks as an example of how profit does not reflect the well being of a company on the long run. So I was commenting directly on your statement that Kodak is OK since they are making profit in their film division. THUS, my statement that Kodak is not essentially doing OK because future p...

Re: kodak bankrupt

With big corporations profits are not everything. Profit and Growth is! If you follow stocks and Wall Street from time to time you would notice that most companies, with stocks going south after a quarterly report, are actually making a quarterly profit but does not meet expectations or their produc...

Re: Recent Super8 feature

On the contrary, this was enjoyable reading. Much thanks for taking the time to answer the questions in such details. One can only gain from reading about experiences of other film makers in Super8 (and other formats). Great stills! Looking forward to seeing the full feature. [........]Sorry for the...

Re: LCD 4" video monitor question

I sent you a PM on this. Very strange no one has seen this type of connector. I'll just hang on to it. Who knows! Sometimes on eBay the weirdest items show up. Maybe a cable like that will show up. No, I have never seen a connector like that but if you don't have the cable and power supply for it, i...

Re: LCD 4" video monitor question

Jean-Louis - What I am looking for is something like this Mintron camera: http://www.mintron.tw/new%20product/BOX-INDUSTRIAL/33K9H-EX.asp Nothing sophisticated like a video assist feed from a prizm splitter. I need something that can be used on different cameras with the appropriate eye viewer piece...

Re: kodak bankrupt

Right on the dot Will2 - It always takes a Texan to call things for what they are :D Kodak is still alive and selling film. This is just a way for them to screw pensions and get out of bad deals they made in the past. Happens all the time these days. Sad way to have to do business. Don't forget, Fuj...

LCD 4" video monitor question

Someone gave me a used Marshall 4" monitor that is used with filmshooting (and video) rigs. This unit has a BNC connection for its Video IN from a video feed with support for NTSC and PAL. My question: What is used to go on the eye viewer of a Super8 or Bolex camera with a BNC NTSC AND PAL Vide...
